The family of the semi-pro football player found dead less than a mile away from the North Attleboro home of Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is pleading for the public's help.

"I need whoever it is who knows what happened to say something. Because he knows who it is. He knows who he was with and that person needs to speak up," said Olivia Thibou, the sister of homicide victim Odin L. Lloyd, 27, of Dorchester.

Family members declined today to comment on whatever connection Lloyd had to Hernandez. They added police are not sharing any details about the death.
